use the formula to solve for v. I forgot the formula which is why I cannot show it.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT

where, n = number of moles

Also, density =
(mass)/(volume)

Since, n =
(mass)/(\molar mass)

Therefore, ideal gas equation can also be written as follows.

PV = nRT

PV =
\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}} * RT


P * \text{molar mass} = dRT

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.


0.874 atm * 70.49 g/mol = d * 0.0821 Latm/mol K * 389 K

6.161 atm g/mol =
d * 31.94 Latm/mol

d = 0.193 g/L

Thus, we can conclude that density of the given gas is 0.193 g/L.
